"Christ is blessing", the XII century.
Vatican museums.
The exhibition opens the icon of the XII century, written by an unknown Roman master. "Christ is a blessing" - a unique reminder of the unity of the Christian Church, which will help trace the parallel between European and old-Russian art. Italian Jesus XII century is very like a popular image of Russian icons - Almighty Savior.
Main masterpiece exhibition
Michelangelo Merisi, nicknamed Caravaggio. "Position in the coffin." About 1602-1602. Canvas, oil. Vatican museums.
At the beginning of the XVII century, this canvas produced a small revolution. Non-standard, tragic, and at the same time a simple composition destroyed stereotypes that have developed by the time in painting (as well as at the beginning of the twentieth century, "Black Square" broke them). The efforts of reformers Catholicism experienced no better times - many have seen the salvation of the church in returning to the ancient Christian simplicity and vitality. Caravaggio was one of them.
The poetic cloth
Paolo Cagliari, nicknamed Paolo Veronese. Vision of Saint Helena. About 1575-1580. Canvas, oil. Vatican museums.
Past of a large-scale picture of the famous Veronese is unlikely to pass anyone. Before us is the Holy Elena, the mother of the first Roman emperor-Christian Konstantin. The heroine came an angel and called on to go to Jerusalem in search of that very cross. Usually, the holy depicted with the already found cross in her hand, but Veronese decided to write her sleeping - directly during the vision. But this is not the only canon disturbed by the Italian. According to legend, Elena saw an angel already in old age, and on the canvase we see a young beauty-Venetian. Veronese briefly thought about those who would take in the model, and stopped the choice on his own spouse. Sleeping holy in the portrait repeats the appearance of the artist's wife, which, by the lucky coincidence, was also called Elena.
Exhibit with an unusual history
Donato Kreti. "Astronomical observations". 1711. Canvas, oil. Vatican museums.
The work under which the whole hall was distinguished, interesting both the plot and its history. Before us - a kind of space comic of the XVIII century: the artist Donato Kreti wrote a series of "astronomical observations", depicting all the planets of the solar system at that time. In the Epoch of Enlightenment, scientific plots begin to compete fullly compete with biblical. But the most interesting thing is that "Astronomical observations" were written on request of the Count Luigi Ferdinando Martili and were intended to be a gift to Clement XI. So Aristocrat hoped to convince the Pope to give money to the construction of the Observatory in Bologna. It's good that dads took bribes art - now we have something to see.
Masterpiece that will not all notice
Gentile da Fabryano. "Saint Nikolai doubts a storm and saves the ship", about 1425. Tree, tempera. Vatican museums.
Gentile da Fabriano is slightly lost in the shadow of famous neighbors like Rafael and Caravaggio. Meanwhile, his small canvas with the heavy title "Saint Nicholas pacifies a storm and saves the ship" It is very interesting: it found a place and the biblical saint, which, like a superman, arrive and saves unlucky sailors, and pagan mermaid. Where is the female fish? In the medieval symbolism, mermaids personify demonic strength - so she caused a storm, which "doubt" the Saint Nicholas.
Exhibition "Roma Aeterna. Masterpieces Pinakotheki Vatican. "

Moscow. January 31. Website - Tretyakov Gallery (GTG) extended the work of the exhibition of painting from Pinakoteki Vatican until March 1, the director of the Gallery of the Zelphira Togulov said "Interfax" on Tuesday.
"Understanding that the exhibition from the collection of the Vatican is of a great interest of the audience, we turned to the Directorate of the Vatican Museums with a request to consider the opportunity to extend this exhibition at least ten days. Because these works taken from the walls of Pinakotek are extremely demanded by those who come to Rome. And comes to the museum. Their absence for 3.5 months is a problem for our colleagues. I am pleased that the new director of the Vatican Museum of Mrs. Barbara Yatta agreed to extend the exhibition from February 20 to March 1, "said Interfax Tiphelov.
According to the director, given the influx of visitors, the Museum decided to work without days off - both Mondays, February 20 and 27, the gallery will be open until 21:00.
"This exhibition is not about the record of attendance. For her, we have chosen the best halls in the engineering building, where we provide the necessary safety conditions and tough compliance with the temperature and humidity regime," the director noted. Partly, therefore, the director explained, the exhibition can visit no more than 2 thousand people per day.
Ticket selling
The new batch of tickets will go on the box office on the Crimean shaft on February 10. Five Cass will be opened, the constant exposition of the building on this day will be closed. "We will sell tickets in the order of a live queue, we will try to launch people as much as possible to the lobby so that they do not frills in the cold," Tiphelova said.
Online sales will begin on February 17 from 12:00 hours. The gallery is working to ensure that the site, ticket systems and postal service are not falling from the simultaneous journal of tens of thousands of people, as it was in early January.
Currently, all tickets for the exhibition "Roma Aeterna. Masterpieces Pinakotheki Vatican" are fully reappeared until February 19.
Fighting dealers
To combat dealers, GTG first introduced the practice of registered tickets. Now visitors when buying tickets at the box office and the museum website you need to specify the names and the names of those for whom they are bought. Upon passage in the public museum, you will need to have a certificate of person.
In addition, from December 15, the entrance to the museum is carried out only at previously acquired tickets - "live" queue to the ticket office for tickets for the nearest session in the gallery was canceled.
At the exhibition "Roma Aeterna. Masterpieces of Pinakotek Vatican" in Lavrushinsky Lane represented 42 picturesque works of the XII-XVIII centuries. Among them are the works of Giovanni Bellini, Melozzo da Forli, Perugino, Raphael, Caravaggio, Guido Reni, Griefly, Nicola Poussna. The earliest work is the image of "Christ Blessing" XII century, which was previously never exhibited at temporary exhibitions and did not leave the Vatican limits.
In this exhibition a lot of unprecedented. It is 42 exhibits from the permanent exhibition (it was said at the opening that the State Tretyakov Gallery came hardly not 10% of the Vatican Pinakothek), rarely leaving relatives and almost literally nasty walls. This is the political component that patronizing the current artistic tour at the highest state level (Tretyakovka and managed to bring the work to Moscow almost all the work ordered in the Vatican, because of which the Credit of religious plots turns into a practically continuous history of styles in Italian art from the XII to the XVIII century) . This is a special scenographic solution of the exhibition area - with a huge, from the inside with a highlighted logo and falsely, changing the familiar geometry of the halls on the third floor of the Engineering Corps of the Tretyakov Gallery (Registration "Roma Aeterna" and Agnia Sterligovoy). One of them, like the architectural plan of the temple of St. Peter, has an octagonal form, and the other, like the area in front of the main Vatican Basilica, is rounded.
Set of rules
There are also no analogues of the strictest accreditation and photographing rules at the exhibition. At the press show of journalists were repeatedly prevented (and even forced to sign a special receipt for the undisting claims exposed by the leadership of the Vatican museums) that the paintings could not be removed entirely or even more so in parts. You can only in the interior, on the background of the wall, and even better, in order to get a few cloths at once. Television drivers were forbidden to drive on the works by televisers and take painting close-ups. This, however, in itself, is quite problematic due to the specific exposition design of the two main halls, the top covered with wooden panels. In order to protect the paintings from visitors, the designers made smooth, but high plinths, moving the exhibits at a distance of a little more elongated hand. Because of what they all acquire an additional aura ("Dal Close" if you remember the definition Walter Benjamina), I finally turn into sacred objects of religious worship.
Light and color
As a result, the masterpieces will not close - with the exception of the tiny griezales Raphaelexhibited in a separate showcase and the Bologna astronomical cycle Donato Kouti. Its eight paintings are shown in the additional, quite illuminated by the third hall. Less lucky picture of the baroque times who took the largest hall, where the twilight reigns.
Exposure lighting that museum workers constantly play bridge projects, creates additional difficulties of perception. Of course, it is extremely impressive when light rays aimed at paintings turn them into the windows of the world world. However, this approach has many shortcomings associated with invincible glare and sprawling inside the frames of blind spots. (ceases to work with the exhibits of small sizes, telling some particularly scene stories with a lot of miniature details.) At the current exhibition, in addition to the progenial and renaissance paintings Pietro Lorenzetti, Alesso di Andrea, Mariotto di Nardo, Giovanni di Paolo.This is particularly related to the horizontally elongated two-meter composition of the Miracles of St. Vincenzo Ferrer. Bologna Masters Ercole de Robertiwho took a separate sweeping.
In the first hall, where the lighting is normal, the oldest are located - and even ancient - exhibits. It is here that two works are shown Perugino, big compositions Giovanni Bellini (Pinakl "Mailing Christ with Joseph Arimate, Nicodemus and Maria Magdalina") and Lupente Carlo Krvellias well as even earlier Fra Beato Angeliko, Gentile da Fabriano and Margitone d'Arresz, whose "Saint Francis of the Assisian" XIII century is not the earliest work at the exhibition (the epigraph of it is posted a very viszanthydrous "Christ blessing" Roman school of the XII century). However, the most notable decoration of the first hall is three fragments of frescoes Melozzo da Forli With angels playing musical instruments (in the Vatican Pinakotek such separate episodes, once a single painting "Ascension of Christ", 14 pieces are stored). This is precisely their elegant emblematic faces on posters, billboards, banners and catalog cover.
Explanation at the bottom and registered tickets
Now, when the press shows also passed the chairs of the Treasters fill the usual visitors, it will be interesting to see how the inscriptions and explications will work, located on the plinths: will they be visible in the dense speech stream? Finally, a completely new situation arose with the sale of tickets, allowing you to pass on the third floor of the engineering building in Lavrushinsky Lane. There are simply no online ticket sales for the Vatican Exhibition, this is written on the site of the museum. Conventional, paper, tickets are bought up to December 31 of this year. From December 15, the Tretyakov Gallery Cass will begin to sell tickets for 2017 sessions (the exhibition will last until February 19). And these tickets will be nominated, since, during the previous, accompanied by large queues, the museum workers faced numerous dealers who offered tickets at prices overstated several times.
The Tretyakov Gallery in Lavrushinsky Lane represents a unique project: For the first time, the Vatican museums show in Russia the best part of their collection - masterpieces of the XII-XVIII centuries, including the work of Giovanni Bellini, Melozzo da Forli, Perugino, Rafael, Caravaggio, Guido Reni, Gr. Poussna .
At the exhibition, the curator of which was the Arkady Ippolitov (State Hermitage), 42 picturesque works were represented. Never before the Museums of the Vatican, which are held in the top ten world assemblies, simultaneously exported at the same time such a significant number of outstanding works from a permanent exposure, so that the exhibition became an event not only for Russia and Europe, but also for the whole world.
"Roma Aeterna ..." - part of the Big Project: In 2017, a response exhibition will be held in the Vatican, a substantial part of its exhibits will make works by Russian painting on gospel plots from the Collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.
The task of the show is to submit both a collection of Pinakoteki, the section of the Museums of the Vatican, and the Spirit of Rome, the Great City. The Pinakoteki collection was created as a collection of the state, the head of which is a spiritual person, which has reflected on its composition is the greatest collection of religious painting. Religion is a form of awareness of the world, so religious art does not boil down to the set of biblical or evangelical plots, and the collection of Pinakothek Vatican is precisely about this. It is just as diverse as the culture of Rome, so the Latin expression of Roma Aeterna, "Eternal Rome" is included in the exhibition name.
Under this implies that a huge cultural unity, which became Rome in the history of mankind, the city at the same time an ancient and modern, united so different era, as antiquity, the Middle Ages, Revival and Baroque. Rome - Center of the Empire, Center for Religion and Center for Art: We can say that the concept of Roma Aeterna is one of the most important ideas of world culture. It is this idea that the exhibition in the Tretyakov Gallery is dedicated.
Each work presented at the exhibition is exclusively. It begins with the rare sample of the Roman school of the XII century, the image of Christ-Blesserving, which has never been exposed on temporary exhibitions and did not leave the Vatican limit. At this way, storing the memory of the unity of Christianity before schism, the work of Margarriton D'Assiso "Saint Francis Assisky" (XIII century).
It entered all textbooks on the history of art and is valuable in that it is one of the earliest images of the Holy, who has played an important role in the history of the Western Church. It was his name who chose the current Dad, who became the first Francian in the history of the Vatican. Also presented works of gothic masters, extremely few in Russian meetings. Among them, "Jesus in front of the Pilate" Pietro Lorenzetti, peculiarly echoing with the famous picture of Nikolai Ge.
Two limits telling stories from the lives of Nikolai Wonderworker, Archbishop World of Lycian, equally revered by the Orthodox and Catholic Church, stand on the border of Gothic and Renaissance. One of them belongs to Gentile's brushes da Fabriano, who finishes the Epoch of International Gothic in Italy, whose works are not only absent in Russian meetings, but did not exhibit in Russia at all, the second - Brushes Fra Beato Angelico, the Great Florentine early Renaissance.
Two paintings include Two Pictures: "Miracles of St. Vincenzo Ferrer" Ercole de Roberti, one of the most interesting works of the largest master of Ferrarsk school, and "mourning" of Venetian Giovanni Bellini. There are no works in Russia.
The greatest luck is that the exhibition will show frescoes with the image of the Angels of the Melozza da Forli, provided by Pinakotek to exploration to other museums in isolated cases. The painting of this artist who is considered one of the largest painters of the Quatrocheto was removed from the dome of Apsid during the restructuring of the Church of Santi Apostoli in Rome and now adorn the Pinakoteks Hall.
The work of Melozzzo Yes, Tryli is so rare that in value they approach the famous creations of Sandro Botticelli and Piero della Frances. Being reproduced in huge numbers on various souvenirs, his angels became a business card of Rome. High Renaissance, that is, the XVI century, is represented by the masterpieces of Perugino, Rafael, Correggo and Paolo Veronese.
The greatest power of the papal Rome reached in the XVII century, in the baroque era, and the papal meetings represent the painting of this one century most and brilliantly. The masterpiece of this time at the exhibition is "position in the coffin" Caravaggio. The altar image of Nicola Pussen "Martyrdom of St. Erasm", the largest work of the artist, written specifically for the Cathedral of St. Peter. This work was one of the most famous cathedral paintings and caused admiration for many Russian artists who lived in Rome.
The Baroque era also includes the works of Karavagisti and artists of the Bologna School (Lovovico Karratic, Guido Reni, Gr.), perfectly represented in papal meetings. The exhibition ends with a series of paintings by the XVIII century, in fact, the last century, when the papacy played a state role. This series of Bologna Donato Kreti is dedicated to astronomical observations and logically completes the history of Lo Stato Pontificio, the papal region, soon ceased to exist and turning into the Vatican, Lo Stato Della Città Del Vaticano.
